> Schools are adding pepper-spraying drones to help combat active shooters

Schools in the U.S.; this is what the U.S. are getting into.

Meanwhile, the majority of the civilized world solves this with gun control. Americans can't do gun control, just because of fetishism for their obsolete Constitution.

Try to explain to Americans that their Constitution was written before the Industrial Revolution and cheap ubiquitous guns, during a war, when the overwhelming majority of the population was rural. Try to explain that when Americans try to do nation building (Japan, Iraq, Afghanistan) they choose political frameworks completely different from the American Constitution.

They won't accept it. They venerate their Constitution just as blindly as the Bible, another obsolete document.

Our country is better than yours because of the constitution

Proud American here, I don't think your comment is particularly helpful. Better can be very subjective and a country is not going to better in every single aspect; the other country will certainly have some aspects where they will be "better".

Well, thank you twice:

* first for confirming my criticism that Americans venerate their constitution blindly

* second for staying in your country and not coming to mine

Have you ever left "Murica"?

I'd suggest you to spend some months in a really cool country. You know, a place with parliamentarian government and not presidential, public healthcare, gun control, restrictions on corporations bribing politicians, true multiparty democracy, etc.

I'd suggest places like Western Europe, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, etc. Don't just visit it, try to live there for a while, work and understand the culture. I know, you think all of that is just "socialism" but trust me, it isn't bad at all.
